My Images Arent Coming Up! Help? by methodman(m): 9:55pm On Dec 30, 2008
Hello Fellow Nairalanders,

I just built a new site and it contains images, but when i uploaded the files, i noticed that the images arent coming up,

All the picture files are as well present in my file manager,

How can i solve this problem?
Re: My Images Arent Coming Up! Help? by Nobody: 10:10pm On Dec 30, 2008
First thing i can say is, are you sure you have uploaded the images into the right path such as public_html/ your post did not tell us about the kind of server u are using, if it is cpanel, freeservers or godaddy.
Anyway, that aside, u need to check the extension of your files, are they .jpg, .gif, your file manager/ftp should show you that.
Then again, if u are a beginner, u need to check your code <img src="tony.jpg"> and also if your links are absolute or relative.
Then u must check the case of your file, for instance on a linux server, if u upload tony.JPG then <img src="tony.jpg"> will not work
it must be <img src="tony.JPG"> if all that doesnt work.
Then check your folder. if u have images in an images folder, your image link must reference the folder like this:
<img src="images/folder.gif">
if you are still or not having problems, keep posting,
meanwhile, it will not be a bad idea for you to check http://w3schools.com/html/html_images.asp

ehn let him paste the url of the website here
Re: My Images Arent Coming Up! Help? by methodman(m): 10:26pm On Dec 30, 2008
@dhtml

Thanks for the prompt reply, I use cpanel and the images were uploaded at the right path which is public_html.

However, the extension of my images are in jpeg and gif formats,

looking forward to your reply.

Thanks

methodman, release the url. it is the only way we can truly help.

dhtml
Then check your folder. if u have images in an images folder, your image link must reference the folder like this:
<img src="images/folder.gif">

weeell, not exactly. Tis best to do <img src="/images/whateverimage.giforjpg" /> as if the images are in a secondary folder and you reference using ur way, u will get broken images. Or if ur files get moved to another server, u cd get the same issues. With my way, it doesn't matter where your files reside. this also works by the way for other files as well.

Just thought I should throw that out there.

Well the most likely thing is that you did not specify the path properly. I guess you just uploaded everything into the public_html folder without creating the appropriate sub-folders for the images
Re: My Images Arent Coming Up! Help? by smartsoft(m): 2:01pm On Dec 31, 2008
this guy is so  adamant, ! release your URL na abi wetin we go do without it peeps giving you info here are just guessing what you are probably doing wrong maybe he just uploaded the whole file including his own image folder to the public_html,  without uploading the images to it's folder and the html files or whatever extensions to the directory  i remember when we use to play ball bakc in those days. we say " Anywhere belle face"
Re: My Images Arent Coming Up! Help? by bug24(m): 2:04pm On Dec 31, 2008
Ok man, here are the links to your un-displaying images:

http://www.ewealthnetwork.com/football_files/image002.jpg

http://www.ewealthnetwork.com/football_files/image004.jpg

http://www.ewealthnetwork.com/football_files/image005.jpg

http://www.ewealthnetwork.com/football_files/image007.gif

there is a directory on your local system u named football_files  and in them, you have all your images. (so says the links). but as it it now, it seems you just went into the the football_files folder which contains both ur html and image files and uploaded em to the web just like that. I dont really know how to put you tru this from here but i will suggest that you ZIP THE FOLDER , send it to me, lemme trouble shoot and send it back to you. send it to judokah2002 at yahoo dot com

of course after troubleshooting, i will tell  u where u erred so it doesnt repeat nxt time.

Hope am not being too generous here?
Re: My Images Arent Coming Up! Help? by Nobody: 5:20pm On Dec 31, 2008
<img src="images/football.jpg"> will work if the images folder is in the same directory as the page calling the images while /images/football.jpg will work from any level of the website assumin the images folder is in the top directory. Both codes are correct let's not confuse the guy.


And one more thing, for beginners to get the extension of their images right, on windows, open my computer, select Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> uncheck the "Hide Known file extensions" so that way u will get to see the right name of your files maybe it is football.gif or football.jpg or football.jpeg
some pcs will misinterprete, like my own pc s crazy, it will call all images jpeg even when they are png files!! But of course, i cant fall victim for that.

I guess the problem here is that methodman did not upload the images the images folder he uploaded everything to public_html people like methodman will always run into problem like this because they are not web designer/developer they are internet marketers
Re: My Images Arent Coming Up! Help? by Nobody: 11:06pm On Dec 31, 2008
i figured. He must have left them out mistakenly. Most beginners assume assume the message is attached to the web page automatically rather than embedded externally - or so i though at the very begining - image issues is a very common problem especially as regards absolute vs relative linking.
Anyway luckily for the guy there are loads of experts in the how so he wont have to go thru sleepless nights.
Re: My Images Arent Coming Up! Help? by Nobody: 3:52pm On Jan 01, 2009
By using the link http://www.ewealthnetwork.com/football_files/ we can see the image files you have in the folder. All the images not showing up are not present in that folder yet checking the properties of the images suggest they should be in that folder. Move the images not showing up into that folder. First of all it will be wise to create an image folder and organize your images there.
Re: My Images Arent Coming Up! Help? by Nobody: 11:47am On Jan 04, 2009
Yeah right, he should have a general images folder so he can use <img src="/images/person.jpg"> from any level of his site. Later when he understands absolute vs relative linking he can use stuffs like src=image/person.jpg and not get confused.
Meanwhile @poster - u can read my free html book - it is free for download on http://mwebng.net/?net=dl - it discusses issues like images and is targeted at teaching beginners how to code in html. And there is a thread i created on nairaland that you may find useful
